ANDERLECHT defender Olivier Deschacht says Arsenal were 'sleeping' as the Belgian's fought back to earn at 3-3 draw in the Champions League last night.

The Gunners saw a 3-0 lead slip away thanks to goals from Anthony Vanden Borre and Aleksandar Mitrovic.

But despite the slip-up Deschacht believes Anderlecht still face a tough task to qualify because Arsene Wenger's side will beat Galatasaray.

He said: "Maybe Arsenal were relaxing, or maybe they were sleeping as they thought it was finished.

"But we also thought it was finished. We stopped believing when they scored their third.

"But suddenly our right-back (Anthony Vanden Borre) was all alone in front of goal, we started believing, we scored the second and third and I think it was deserved.

Maybe Arsenal were relaxing, or maybe they were sleeping as they thought it was finished.

"We were the better team in the first game (when Arsenal won 2-1). This time justice was there so we were happy with this point.

"When I am old and watch football with my children or grandchildren, I will say to them 'we were 3-0 down against Arsenal, such a big team, and we made it 3-3'.

"Can we overtake Arsenal to finish second? No. We have to be realistic. We played very good in the Champions League this season but Dortmund were too strong for us. To come second we have to win in Dortmund.

"In football you see that everything is possible but we know we have to be realistic. It would be a dream for us to finish third.

"But for Arsenal this is a draw and they say 'OK, next game'. They will beat Galatasaray, and then it's nothing. For us, this is massive."
